Arequipa & The Colca Canyon Holidays


south & central america
Arequipa, Peru’s ‘White City’ is famous for its beauty. Framed by three volcanoes and filled with striking colonial architecture, in the year 2000 the historic centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arequipa is also the access city for one of Peru’s most visited sites; the impressive Colca Canyon.

Arequipa can be reached by flight from Cusco or Lima or alternatively a popular way to incorporate Arequipa into a Peru holiday is to travel in or out by road or rail from the Colca Canyon and Lake Titicaca.

Travelling by train in Peru is a wonderful way to explore the country and the iconic and luxurious Belmond Andean Explorer train combines Cusco, Lake Titicaca and gorgeous Arequipa.
